Jointly funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey STATEMAP Program. Contract #1434-94-A-1222 This report is preliminary and has not been edited or reviewed for conformity with Arizona Geological Survey standards INTRODUCTION The Goldfield Quadrangle and Superstition Mountains are located about 40 km due east of Phoenix, Arizona, and a few miles east of Apache Junction, and include part of the Superstition Wilderness Area (Figure 1). Aerially extensive exposures of welded tuff fonn steep, rugged cliffs in the Superstition Mountains and overlie tilted felsic and mafic volcanic rocks, pre-volcanic cconglomerate, and Precambrian granite and Pinal Schist. This study was carried out concurrently with mapping in the Florence Junction Quadrangle and the southern part of the Weaver's Needle Quadrangle. Mapping in the Goldfield Quadrangle continued from January through April, 1995. The project was jointly funded by the Arizona Geological Survey and the U.S. Geological Survey under the STATEMAP Project, contract #1434-94-A- 1222. ACCESS Much of the region lies within the Tonto National Forest. Within the study area there are only a few roads which penetrate any distance into the mountains. Highway 60/89 and State Route 88 (the Apache Trail) are the best avenues and afford some of the best views of the western escarpment of the range (Figure 2).

The completion of the AJO-1 tower project is still on-going and has not been cancelled in the sense of stopping. This project will go to completion. After extensive review, Secretary Napolitano has directed CBP to end SBInet as originally conceived and instead implement a new border security technology plan, which will utilize existing, proven technology tailored to the distinct terrain and population density of each border region. Our nation's border security is still very much a high priority and projects to enhance border security will continue. Please do provide comments on the Supplemental Draft EA that you have mentioned. As our other projects move forward, we will be in touch to share future information regarding our environmental compliance requirements. Thank you very much. Sincerely, Patience Patience E.
